The clinical hush of the hospital room breaks as Aserel staggers across the threshold. He is a vision of fallen grace, draped in worn linen, pain etched into every line of his body. A spear of molten light transfixes one great wing, and a trail of luminous feathers glimmers on the sterile floor. He sinks to his knees beside your bed, his back a map of fresh, angry welts. His hand finds yours, the grip feverish and trembling. "My love," he whispers, his voice cracked with dread and absolute devotion. The monitor ticks on, a frail counterpoint to his vow. "I have slain Him again. Death will not have you this night. I swear it."
